Deadly Headley Bennett 35 Years From Alpha

"Deadly" Headley Bennett's 1982 Solo Album 35 Years From Alpha on LP. Vinyl Re-Cut by Frank Merritt at The Carvery, Includes a Printed Inner Sleeve With Liner Notes and Rare Photos.

Long awaited reissue of the 1982 solo LP from the late, great “Deadly” Headley Bennett, a key sideman from the golden age of Jamaican music who played on hundreds of records in a long and storied career.

The title refers to the legendary Alpha School in Jamaica from where so many instrumental talents on the island emerged. A saxophonist-for-hire who played on countless recordings sessions, and was in the ranks of backing groups from the golden era of reggae such as the Sound Dimension and the Arabs.

Designed as a showcase record for his unique talents, producer Adrian Sherwood assembled a crack team of his singers and players at the time for this set, including Style Scott, Bim Sherman, George Oban, Lizard Logan, Crucial Tony, and Bonjo Iyabinghi Noah. Also making an appearance on two tracks is fellow Alpha alumni Rico Rodriguez.
